Objective: To evaluate the effects of multiple sessions of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) combined with speech ther-apy on dysarthria rehabilitation in a patient with acquired brain injury. Introduction: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique capable of modulating cortical excitability and influencing cognitive functioning. One major limitation of this method is the transient nature of its neuro-modulatory effects, which aim to promote neuroplasticity mechanisms. Emerging evidence suggests that repeated sessions are necessary to achieve sustained therapeutic outcomes. Materials and Methods: We present the case of a 57-year-old male patient with tetraparesis and dysarthria resulting from organo-phosphate poisoning, who underwent a neuromodulation .. Read More»
